I integrate best practices from business strategy, leadership development, and mindfulness practices to help individuals and teams develop greater flexibility and responsiveness in their work and lives, leading to greater productivity and accomplishing more of what matters. My focus is on deep and lasting authenticity and change. I am the founder and former CEO of a publishing company and a long-term Zen teacher.

I was the founder and CEO of Brush Dance for 15 years, www.brushdance.com. I wish I had worked with an executive coach (I do have a coach now!) No matter how smart, how committed, how insightful you may be, all leaders can benefit from coaching:

• Receive support and a fresh outside perspective; widen and deepen your awareness and competencies. Develop strategies to align intentions with results; benefit by engaging with a skilled and insightful coach, who is completely present to support and help you.
• Receive guidance and develop a personal, customized program for identifying and transforming your toughest issues – the issues that occur in your business and your life.
• Transform relationships with subordinates, co-workers, Board members or Shareholders by examining how your speech and actions align with your intentions. Investigate where these intentions come from, and how they serve you or hinder you.
• Develop and implement strategies that move you to where you want to be.
